The 'new era' is vastly unpopular with the public. All the retarded bogans see the situation as 'act like cunts and win' or 'behave respectably and lose' They aren't aware that behaviour is independent of the results. Here are the top facebook comments on an article titled "Paine heralds new Aussie era" This is why I hate Australians 

The “new era” is absolutely rubbish. Can’t believe the PC brigades have gotten to our national game. Embarrassing."

"Just be soft and keep losing. Not a good team, only about half of them should be there"

"New era looks crap"

"Hard to talk rubbish when your always loosing" 

 

 

 

 

You say public as if all of Australia is from Cronulla. Maybe it's because I'm a bushie but I never remember anyone caring about sledging from my youth. It's fucks living in low-income boondock suburbs that come up with that shit. Besides T-Pain is hardly 'new era', he is fucking 34.

You're right though, they think Glenn McGrath throwing tantrums is equivalent to success because it coincided with the greatest twenty years of Australian cricket that will probably ever happen.

India setting themselves up for 500 here. Even with the king and the wall back in the sheds. Some runs at the top was nice too. Pitch is a shite one, but the odd ball standing up and plenty staying low should excite sir Jadeja 

Strong batting performance throughout the order as well which was a nice change. Bit shocked at two new openers for an MCG Boxing Day test but they held their own, especially with the short balls and chin music attempts from Starc and Hazelwood and Cummins! Vihari took a big hit on the helmet which seemed to affect him. Aggarwal dealt with it better.

Australia bowled all out for a small 151. Managed to see the first 3 wickets within the first hour of play then fell asleep. 

Looks like the pitch is starting to take its toll but at the same time have more of an effect on the game. 

Lucky we have a big first innings total cos this second innings is a shambles xD

Andrew Strauss’ wife has died aged 46 due to lung cancer. Always shite news around Christmas and New Year.

Jesus, he gave up the role of the Director of England Cricket in October because "citing a wish to spend more time with his wife while she was undergoing treatment for cancer." she was only 46 when she passed away. 

R.I.P. Ruth, my thoughts go out to Andrew and all the loved ones you left behind.

India need 2 on a day 5 pitch. Australia need 141. No batsmen left. This should be open and shut. Imagine losing after declaring twice tho... 

Madness if we lose this xD

An entire session rained out, then the clouds doth parted and the Indians rejoiced!

 

My Aussie team for the final match would be.

Harris

Burns

Khawaja 

Head

Wade

Maxwell

Paine

Cummins

Starc

Lyon 

Hazlewood

 

Finch and the swamps out, Maxwell (who should have played Melbourne) and the 2 form batsmen in Wade and Burns in. Burns should be in anyway. They won't bring Wade in though because if he's in people might realise how useless Paine is.

 

And if I were an Indian selector

R Sharma

Agarwal

Pujara

Kohli

Rahane

Pant

Ashwin

Sir RAJ

Shami

I Sharma

Bumrah

No need for 7 specialist batsmen. Spin em out, and if anyone can score a ton, the Aussies won't be able to out bat them.

I'd be inclined to give Vihari another chance just because the game is a bit of a dead-rubber (moreso than others given we can't lose the series, but it'd be nice to win a series in Australia). 

It's something we've done before like other teams, bring in a few youngsters to see how they cope. 

Not sure how bad Ashwin's injury is but perhaps another spinner might get a chance.

I'd play Vihari is Ashwin is out. This is no way near a dead rubber, you guys must win, it'd be historic.
